Perimetre

In class we have been learning about perimeter. This is a summary I wrote about measuring perimeter.



From what we found out about measuring the perimeter of the desks there is length, and width. Then we had to add up all of the answers of the measurements together to get an overall answer. I think it was hard to transfer metres into center metres because you had to move the decimal point to the end of the number of how many numbers are at the end. I think measuring perimeter is easy because it gives you the distance around the shapes without have to measure the rest of the shape. I have learned to measure perimeter by measuring the length and the width 2 times then add them both together to get an answer. To measure the Perimeter of the Admin Block I had to use a trundle wheel. I thought it was hard to because you could get 2 different answers if you measure a different part.
